"The Complete Insurance Guide" is imparted in a 3-CD PowerPoint presentation accompanied by a well-formatted workbook. The high-quality, tabbed, printed material is organized in an easily accessible three-ring binder, excellent for daily office use.

The guide offers effective communication strategies for dealing with insurance carriers, and provides information to assist in developing or upgrading your current tracking systems. Here's how: Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Treatment Plans; Chapter 3: Treatment Protocols; Chapter 4: Verification; Chapter 5: Letters of Medical Necessity; Chapter 6: Collections; Chapter 7: Billing; Chapter 8: Coding; Chapter 9: Diagnosis; Chapter 10: Phases of Rehabilitation; Chapter 11: S.O.A.P. Notes; Chapter 12: Office Compliance.

Chapter 12 goes beyond insurance and billing information. It supplies office compliance materials such as details on the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA), and how we can best handle information regarding patient records and security regulations. Chapter 12 also ventures into practice management, and includes forms and an employee manual. You'll be able to hone your office procedures with forms such as Performance Review; Management/Supervisory/Professional Staff Feedback; Supervisor's/ Manager's Assessment of Employee; Rating Instructions; Employee Effectiveness; Interpersonal Skills; How Well Employee Leads and Manages People; Previous Employment Verification and Reference Form; Alleged Harasser Interview Form; Leave of Absence/Disability Coordination Agreement; Exit Certification Form; and Employee Termination Form. The guide also furnishes Treatment and Care letters, allowing your staff to succinctly notify insurance carriers of the patient's course of treatment.

The section on rehab protocols (Chapter 10: Phases of Rehabilitation) is narrated by Brent Detelich, DC. He speaks clearly, delivers his message in an easy-to-follow manner, and follows the notebook very closely, with little extraneous information included. Dr. Detelich focuses on the billing- and insurance-related aspects of a chiropractic activecare approach. You can expect to be guided through billing for active care, what it entails, and hopefully, be motivated to learn more about chiropractic rehabilitation.

"The Complete Insurance Guide" is a great office-training tool. It would be an appropriate choice when setting up a chiropractic office billing protocol or refreshing, revamping and upgrading your current billing system. Whatever your style of learning (e.g., audio, visual or tactile), this practical, step-by-step guide can be used to create or update your tracking system, and to simplify your insurance billing department. This is a program that encourages ethically and correctly submitted billing, sent in a timely, communicative manner, and a follow-up system that is streamlined and organized. This comprehensive package pays for itself.
